That may be the root of your problem. Some process is ignoring SIGPIPE. Odd.. I don't see any trace of SIGPIPE in the mingetty sources. I looked at the sources for rawhide's mingetty-1.07-6. Are you sure 4549 is the PID of a process running mingetty? What version of mingetty are you using? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
